DABANCHENG, China (AP) — The Uyghur inmates sat in uniform rows with
their legs crossed in lotus position and their backs ramrod straight,
numbered and tagged, gazing at a television playing grainy
black-and-white images of Chinese Communist Party history.
This is one of an estimated 240 cells in just one section of Urumqi No.
3 Detention Center in Dabancheng, seen by Associated Press journalists
granted extraordinary access during a state-led tour to China’s far west
Xinjiang region. The detention center is the largest in the country and
possibly the world, with a complex that sprawls over 220 acres — making
it twice as large as Vatican City. A sign at the front identified it as
a “kanshousuo,” a pre-trial detention facility.
Chinese officials declined to say how many inmates were there, saying
the number varied. But the AP estimated the center could hold roughly
10,000 people and many more if crowded, based on satellite imagery and
the cells and benches seen during the tour. While the BBC and Reuters
have in the past reported from the outside, the AP was the first Western
media organization allowed in.
This site suggests that China still holds and plans to hold vast numbers
of Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim minorities in detention. Satellite
imagery shows that new buildings stretching almost a mile long were
added to the Dabancheng detention facility in 2019.
